Scoliosis Management Market Global Outlook 2026

The global scoliosis management market is witnessing significant growth due to the prevalence of scoliosis globally.

Scoliosis is a medical condition that causes an abnormal curve of the backbone or spine. It is mostly diagnosed in early adolescence or in childhood. In scoliosis, a person’s spine has sideway curve, which forms C or S shape. The cause of scoliosis in still unknown, however, it might be due to a combination of environmental and hereditary factors. It can also be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy, tumors, muscles spasms, and Marfan syndrome.

There are various signs and symptoms associated with scoliosis, which includes one shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other, pain in the neck & back, uneven shoulder area, respiratory/cardiac problems in severe cases, and constipation due to curvature causing stomach or intestines tightening. Diagnosis of scoliosis can be done with a normal X-ray imaging technique that can reveal the severity of the spinal curvature. On the basis of product type, the scoliosis management market is segmented into thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO), cervical thoracic lumbar sacral orthosis (CTLSO), and lumbosacral orthosis (LSO).

According to an article published in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation in 2014, scoliosis occurs in around 3% of people globally, most commonly among girls. Moreover, increasing government and private intervention in the field of research and clinical studies have also propelled scoliosis management market growth significantly. For instance, in 2013, the National Institutes of Health trial study found that bracing considerably decreases the risk of curve progression and the need for surgery in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

Success rates of around 90 to 93 percent reduction in the curve progression after wearing a brace for more than an average of 13 hours per day was observed in the trial study. This study was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Shriners Hospitals for Children, the University of Rochester, and the Children’s Miracle Network. Furthermore, increased utilization of healthcare services by patients with scoliosis conditions is driving growth of the global scoliosis management market. For instance, according to the United Sates Bone and Joint Initiative report, around 229,000 adults were hospitalized with scoliosis in 2011.
